The wood is a little darker on the 1%. Thats just an area where all the paper has been engraved off but the wood hasnt really been touched.
Yeah , thats why Ive started putting the dates on these. There is definitely a change in how they are handling the power scaling as of late. The one from january bottoms out around 33% and the ones from this week bottom out around 16.6%.
There are natural variations in wood that might account for some differences.
How cool is it our machines capability will evolve beyond what it is when we open the box? 
Funny thing is, it will probably have more functionality out of the box on day 1 than the muse will ever have (and a lot of other lasers), and will continue to add more down the road.
I canāt find anything as low as 45W on the Reci site. What I have learned is as power goes up the voltage and current go up but the pre-ionisation current always seems to be 4ma. So for a higher wattage tube the minimum power is more but doesnāt increase as fast as the wattage. That is assuming output power is a linear function of input power.
Another thing I noticed is their tubes are rated for water up to 40C, which is a lot better than the 27C I found before. It makes cooling a lot easier because it is the difference between ambient that is important.
Speaking from experience, Cocobolo is a lovely wood but it does horrible things over time.
I canāt work with it anymore.
More then a few minutes of working with it and I get asthma attacks.
I did really like working with it when i could as it has such a tight grain and sanded down to an almost plastic like finish.
So disappointing to hear this, as itās such a lovely wood! Still, Iād rather know this up front than learn the hard way.
I agree with @printolaser - thanks a bunch for posting your thoughts on your experiences and understanding of the technical aspects of laser cutting/engraving.
Im happy to do it! Got some extra time while engraves are going =P
Those glasses are beautiful.
I canāt hear the word cocobolo without thinking of Better Call Saul and his desk. āI donāt know what it means, but I like saying the word cocobolo.ā 
Thanks Mike!
Was a project I worked on during the summer after I was done university and had not found a job.
Oh man imagine having a desk made of it and growing allergic to your desk. I never would have guessed
When I start throwing in the third body problem of lines per inch into developing test engraves coupled with speed and power, Iām very happy for Proofgrade, autosettings and @takitus work in this thread.
Interesting take. Canāt wait to find out for myself!
I often feel like that when I walk into the work of lateā¦
Yes. We have a few more rabbits planned. 
Engraving still has many improvements ahead. Right now, changing the power field in engraving does very little, for example. We generally engrave at 100% and adjust LPI and speed to get the desired depth.
I like rabbits
Especially magic rabbits! 
With the rate that rabbits reproduce, this is an apt description of the hopper, it just keeps growing and growing!
